Lennox Head is a charming coastal town in northern New South Wales that embodies a relaxed and laid-back atmosphere, making it an unmissable destination for beach lovers and surf enthusiasts. The standout attraction is the Lennox Head Lighthouse, which offers breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and surrounding coastline. One unique thing travellers love is the opportunity to witness the annual whale watching season, where humpback whales migrate through the area from May to November. The best time to visit Lennox Head is during the warmer months from September to April, when the weather is mild and sunny, ideal for surfing and beach activities. For first-timers, a practical tip is to arrive early at the beach to secure parking, as the town's popularity can lead to limited parking options, especially during peak season.
